Kenneth Armstrong, a 38-year-old Black man, was shot and killed in Cordele, Georgia, on June 9, 2019. Around 10:30 p.m. gunfire broke the quiet on the 2200 block of Roosevelt Street. Deputies found Armstrong inside a vehicle with multiple gunshot wounds; he was taken to Crisp Regional Hospital and died around midnight.

Investigators identified 26-year-old Michael Anthony Savage of Cordele as a suspect and said Armstrong and Savage were acquainted. Armstrong had been called to the residence where Savage was located and, before Armstrong could exit his vehicle, was allegedly shot eight times; the car then rolled into a nearby ditch. A neighbor recalled hearing gunshots followed by a sound like a skid.

Savage fled, triggering a two-day manhunt involving the Crisp County Sheriff’s Office, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Marshal Middle Georgia Fugitive Task Force; he was later arrested in neighboring Dooly County and charged with malice murder, felony murder, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Can anyone who knew Kenneth or saw activity on Roosevelt Street that night share information?
